What is the meaning of nation-state?

Please use a student definition, not a dictionary translation. Thanx for the help :)

Answer #1

A state, or country where the same type of people exists; organized by either race or cultural background.

In the nation-state almost everyone would speak the same language, practice the same or similar religion and share a set of cultural, national values.

Thats as non dictionary as I can get.
